What Are You Brewing - 2014

[Not For Horses]

Ella is fairly tame at 60 and I've brewed with it enough to be able to pick it out. 2g/L each at 10 and flameout should give a pretty good indicator of it's qualities.

Feel free to bring that keg along to the brew day. Should be just about right.
Cold conditioning my kit DSGA at the moment. Should be in keg Wed, and carbed week after. I then just have to resist drinking it. He he
Have to get my shit together and get my brau build done. Need at least one practice run before brew day.

I'll bring a 9 litre keg of it if you get your brau done on time

Brewed this last night. Pretty straight forward with simple hop additions. I added the 0 min additions using the hop rocket straight to the chiller to use up some of the cascade flowers I have had for a while. Smelt very nice going into the fermenter. Plate chiller down to 24 degrees and my new fermenter fridge quickly cooled the fermenter to 18.5 to pitch. Oxygenated. Did a decoction of five litres at 55 degrees and added back in when ramping to 66 degree rest for b amylase rest.

Bought a pack last year. Split it into 3 and have been harvesting, washing and reusing ever since. I don't have any of the original pack, but have plenty of 2nd and 3rd gen vials in the fridge.

# 47 - India Red Ale - Anzac Day IPA

80% Floor Malted Golden Promise
10% Dark Wheat Malt
5% Caramunich II
4% Dextrose
1% Roasted Barley

Deary me, what an error!

When ever anyone has suggested making a red ale or red ipa i always auggest using Cara Aroma to get that redness ( its what I use for AAA's and milds that have a deep red colour)....silly me didnt use that for my India Red Ale as you can see above - Caramunich II @ 5% and teh colour went brown/tan which is not appealing.

Solution - Add 100g of Breiss A-6001 and turn it black.

Not a great brewday, overfilled the HLT when checking recipe details. My long serving Marga mill blew a bearing and now the keg fridges' CO2 bottle is empty. I should have gone on the piss instead.

Oatmeal stout, ingredients and recipe courtesy of Christmas Bender. 75 minutes into a 90 minute mash and I realised I forgot the firkin oats, so I dumped them in and put an extra hour on the clock, I mashed in at 67.5C, it's dropped a touch, can anyone see any issues with such a long mash?

 

[wide eyed and legless]

No issues as far as I can see, however it turns out it will still be very drinkable.

I don't know what I'm brewing this weekend
Picking up a sack each of JW pils and Ale tomorrow morning
I was thinking about doing Bribie's malt liquor, but i don't have the 10L pots to do the cereal mashes in
I'm leaning towards something higher gravity as a winter warmer now the temp is starting to go down
I've got perle, hallertauer m,cascade, citra, amarillo, fuggle and a tiny bit of galaxy in the freezer
Wyeasts California lager, American lager, American Ale II slurry (frim a dsga) and American wheat, also some BRY97
Might just pick up a few random spec grains and invent something in the spur of the moment on sunday
